Cost: $15
Cycle: Every Month
What is it: Every month you will get a bag, a $5 off coupon (sometimes $10), 5 deluxe samples and 1 bonus sample. Why not just say 6? I don’t get it.
All the brands will be brands you can find in Macy’s which is cool since they sell Mac and a lot of other brands that are never to rarely in subscription boxes.
The cool thing about the coupon is that it is good in stores and online also Macy’s does have sales and $5 products so if you are strategic you can score a free product every month. Depending on your state you may still have to pay tax but it is still basically free.
Hurray another month of Macy’s I really do love this box I get really excited for it every month. Lately instead of a bag we have been getting like reusable beauty item like we got a brush roll, a brush, and this month a muslin washcloth. I am into it. I have plenty of bags.
Bare Minerals Original Mineral Veil
Full Size: 8.5 g
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 0.75 g
Value: $2.12
I hate this powder so I am of course not excited to see it. I find it to be weirdly too light and to pink. As well as really kinda gunky/cakey on my skin. This is also so tiny you would go through it really fast. I guess good for travel though since powder containers are so huge.
Full Size: 4
Full Size Cost: $12.99
Sample Size: 1
Value: $3.25
I have always wanted to try a muslin cloth but never wanted to buy one this is actually a bit rougher and thinner then I thought it would be. I don’t see this holding up long but it is so small and easy to fold I think I might keep this with my travel stuff and use it for a traveling wash cloth.
Fur Wash Cloth Cleansing & Softening
Full Size: 18 ct
Full Size Cost: $22
Sample Size: 1 Cloth
Value: $1.22
I love these single use body cleansing cloths for throwing in my car or in a bag if I am gona be out at like a festival or theme park all day to clean up when I feel gross. I know this brand is supposed to be very good for skin and taking care of your personal bits so that’s cool.
Origins Plantscriptions Ant-Aging Power Serum
Full Size: 48 ml
Full Size Cost: $80
Sample Size: 15 ml
Value: $25
It is nice to see something from Origins that is not the charcoal mask which I have gotten over and over in boxes. This claims to reduce signs of aging but doesn’t have alot of claims so eh I don’t have that much faith that this does anything except feel nice.
Pur No Filter Blurring Photography Primer
Full Size: 15 ml
Full Size Cost: $33
Sample Size: 7 ml
Value: $15.40
Despite how tiny this is it is about half the size of the full one which says how misleading the full size package is. This is blurring but it has shimmer in it that I don’t love so this is kinda a miss for me.
Full Size: 150 ml
Full Size Cost: $25
Sample Size: 30 ml
Value: $5
I have still yet to try this because it takes me so long to get though cleansers. Gel cleansers aren’t usually my favorite but I have the mask from this line and I kinda want to try them together.
Full Size: 60 pads
Full Size Cost: $19
Sample Size: 10
Value: $3.17
I don’t like unfinished cotton pads I feel like they are messy and fall apart and these kinda do that too. These are very soft I will use them up and probably all this month but I would not buy these for myself ever. These are large enough to cut in half which is always great double the bang for your buck
Most of this months value, almost half, came from just the Origins Serum so this was a bit of a low value month in my opinion. I still am always happy with that they send and how unique some of the things they send out but I feel like the samples were just a bit on the small side this month I would have liked them to send maybe 2 or 3 of the Fur cloths to pump up the value and feel of the box this month.
